DENVER -- Dropping temperatures will turn rain into all snow overnight into Friday morning. The snow will be accompanied by a gusty north wind.

Temperatures are expected to dip below freezing early Friday that will cause roads to turn slick.

Additional accumulation is also expected overnight, with a couple of inches in Denver. There will be the potential for another 2-5 inches north and south of the city. And the foothills could easily add another foot.

Widespread rain fell across Denver throughout the day, with temperatures only climbing into the low 40s and some snow mixing in during the day west of Interstate 25 and south of the city.

Once the sun set Thursday night, the best chance for all snow kicked in for Denver along with the best chance of accumulation.

Downtown Denver will see 3 inches of accumulation from the storm as the rain-snow line wobbled throughout the day. Heavier amounts of snow fell farther west and north of the city.

The heaviest snow accumulations were above 6,000 feet, including parts of the foothills, and Continental and Palmer divides.

Driving conditions quickly deteriorated on Interstate 70 west of Denver above 6,500 feet, where heavy snow fell in the foothills and mountains Thursday.
